Enter the twenty-first century of sound and join us for an evening of music created by computers, synthesizers, drum machines, and humans. This year's concert will feature the creative talents of composers and performers who live and work on Long Island. Tape pieces by Jason Hanley, Gregory Pfeiffer, Joseph Auner and Chris Brady use computers to manipulate sounds such as electric guitar, clarinet, cars, and voice and warp them into throbbing three-dimensional sonic landscapes that can be hypnotic, exhilarating, and frightening. David Hurtgen will perform his piece "Hypnogog" with his Electric chamber trio consisting of electric violin, electric guitar, and percussion. This year's guest composer is Herbert Deutsch from Hofstra University who will perform his "Jazz Images, Worksong and Blues," the first composition ever made on a Moog Synthesizer. Come hear all of this and more, including electronic music combined with video images.

8. CELT Workshop: Evaluating Writing AND Handling the Paper Load with Anne Beaufort, Thursday, October 18th, 11:00am - 12:00pm at CELT
Do you sometimes feel the time you spend giving written comments on students? writing isn't leading students to improve their writing as much as you'd wish? Do you spend a lot of time(and red ink) marking students? grammatical errors, only to find they keep making the same mistakes in subsequent papers? Or do you avoid giving writing assignments because of the time-intensive task of reading and grading them? In this workshop, we'll examine the research on teacher comments on student writing as a pedagogical tool and discuss strategies for giving feedback on student writing that are effective and efficient uses of your time. We'll also examine the rhetoric of teacher comments to see what signals we send to students by our words. If at all possible, bring a sample student paper that you have written comments on. For more information and to register please go to www.celt.sunysb.edu.
